Market-Hour Festivities and Stock Notices in Town
The scene describes a festive Market-Hour with horse and wine funded by local gentlemen who also distributed bread beer to the poor. Evening entertainment featured music for ladies, bonfires, bells, and light shows as South Sea stock figures rise and fall. Advertisements announce a pamphlet dispute, land and insurance offers, and a series of new law books and plays with release details in London.
